Henchmania Chalkboard
General Information
- You get one Standard Card Pack for winning your first game this week.
- It’s the second time we see this Brawl. Last time we’ve seen it on May 8, 2019.
- It’s a PvP Brawl.
- It’s a premade decks (and Heroes!) Brawl.
- You get to play with one of the custom Heroes, all of which we’ve already seen in Solo Adventures.
- After you select a Hero and start the game, you also get to pick one of the four villains for an extra effect.
- Each Hero has a different Hero Power and deck, so the strategy really depends on who you pick. Decks vary from Aggro to Control.

Villain Effects
After the game starts, you can “work’ for one of the four villains for an extra effect.
- Work for Dr Boom – Each of your minions gains “Deathrattle: Deal 1-2 damage to a random enemy.”
- Work for Togwaggle – “After you play a minion, add a Coin to your hand.”
- Work for Madame Lazul – “After you play a spell, add a copy of a random card from your opponent’s hand to your hand.”
- Work for Hagatha – “At the of your turn, transform a random friendly minion into one that costs (1) more.”
in the section “villain effects” you wrote:
Work for Hagatha – “At the [XXX] of your turn, transform a random friendly minion into one that costs (1) more.”
I think there is a word missing where the [XXX] is.

Spoiler: Don’t read further if you want to explore this brawl on your own.
Easy wins: Choose Voodoo Master Vex as the hero and “Work for Dr Boom” as the villain. This gives all your minions (Deathrattle: 2X – Deal 1-2 damage). If you play a few minions that summon other minions through battlecries or deathrattles, you run right through your opponents. I steamrolled five straight opponents and these weren’t even close battles. They all ended by turns 5-7.
Except when I play that my opponent always seems to also play it. The games get really chaotic really fast. But then again his power is called “totem of chaos”.
I have found myra rotspring to be a better choice when working for dr boom
I got a Golden Khadgar in the pack from the Rise of shadow quest! I’m happy!
After completing the quest, Lazul showed up and promised great things in the pack. Got a golden Boom Reaver from it. Coincidence?
The comment for was something like “we can work together” and I also got a golden legendary (oblivitron). Also I won my first 3 games…
I won my first three games on two accounts and got zero golden legendaries in my packs.
This comment made me smile.
0 golden cards in my account, too. 😉
Also, at the start of the brawl, you have to choose between Toggwagle, Hagatha, Dr Boom and Lazul for an additional effect
-Boom give your minions deathrattle deal 1-2dmg to a random enemy
-Hagatha transform one of your minions into one that cost +1mana at the end of the turn.
-Toggwagle gives you a coin every time you play a minion
-Lazul gives you a copy of a card in your oponent hand every time you play a spell.
Thanks, I didn’t actually play the Brawl yet, so I missed it. Adding it to the post now!
The explanation texts are unreadable on cell phones – at least I couldn’t read them because they were so small. 🙂
